Tshegofatso Lesenyego

I am a dedicated part-time master's candidate at the University of the Witwatersrand, specializing in Migration and Displacement. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience as an Enterprise Researcher at the Centre for Development, where I have honed my skills in policy development and research analysis.

Throughout my professional career, I have contributed significantly to various research projects, focusing on critical areas such as migration, education, and state capacity. My role involved monitoring and analyzing news reports, drafting research briefs, and writing comprehensive reports that inform policy strategies for major stakeholders. I take pride in my ability to engage with diverse thought leaders and manage high-level workshops, ensuring that our findings effectively influence public policy.

With a strong foundation in both hard and soft skills, including project coordination, qualitative data analysis, and effective communication, I am passionate about driving sustainable economic development and empowering communities through informed policy initiatives.
